Reviews Of The Beyond Social Media Show Podcast

This video series takes the podcast concept and turns it into a Google+ Hangout, featuring a triple threat of marketing pros: B.L. Ochman (What’s Next), Albert Maruggi (Provident Partners) and David Erickson (eStrategy).

One of the main attractions of each show is the opening segment, “What Went Wrong” (usually followed by “What Went Right”). The hosts dissect the most egregious errant Tweets, Facebook posts or blog boo-boos.

They also review their favorite new marketing resources such as apps, Social Media Marketing tools, infographics and statistics.

Although the 30-minute episodes are more loosely organized than other podcast series, the topics all focus on Social Media’s impact on marketing, consumers, branding and society.

Relevant, Smart, Clever, Insightful—And Fun

By StephenB – “Try it. You’ll like it.”

You know the phrase, but unlike the back-handed message delivered by way of the 1971 Wells, Rich, Greene commercial for Alka-Seltzer, if you try this podcast you WILL like it. BL Ochman and David Erickson deliver a blend of entertainment and current information in a fast-paced program that originates from NYC (Ochman) and Minneapolis (Erickson).

Seeing their interaction is akin to watching two old friends talking at a party or visiting on the phone. It’s magic.

Informative & Engaging Social Media Podcast
